4 is the perfect number
Besides by summer you may be able to sell them for $50 ea?
Had someone on another board offer me $100 for an OG Pico Squeeze.

Nadalama, have you tried the Pro Core tank?
law of supply and demand. Any capitalist understands.
Whomever controls the supply can demand what they want.
Kinda like a baseball card that is in reality worth nothing but some are happy to pay thousands for it.
I got the green first and then ordered a black when I got the green and had a chance to use it. Maybe they were like 12 bucks back then I think,. That was fine. Great deal, I have 2 and like em alot. That would have been it if not for @Just Frank coming in here with the ejuicesteals thing and then I saw em there for 4. Well, no way to pass that up so even though only one color left, I grabbed 2 more. Now have 3 of the 5 resin colors.
THEN, @Just Frank manages to get 2 purples from ejuicesteals because they must have dug some up or something. Now @Just Frank has 2 purples and I have 2 "stable wood." That calls for a trade of course and now I have 4 of the 5 resin colors.
Next thing I know vapenw has all the colors for 10. How can I possibly pass up the opportunity to snag a blue one and then have all 5 colors?
Can I get an amen out there?
I know somebody can follow this thoroughly common sense thought process.

Just to throw the most minor wrinkle at ya - I have seen the Padauk wood in stock somewhere. If I run across it again I will surely let you know.
I did too, but I think it was like 50 bucks, which is still a good deal, but I don't think I could justify that. I also have a mod on layaway I have to pay off next haha!!! I do appreciate your contribution to my downfall though very much.
I know I'm in the minority, but I like plastic bottles better than squishy silicone ones. I like the ones that come with it well enough. It can also use numerous other standard bottles. I REALLY love the bottle that come with the Drone. Thick walled stiff silicone.
Ya know that's a great point. Not that we should be gouging anybody, but even at 30 dollars, in a dead market it's a great deal and you make a little money. I don't see the Ram surviving a lot of drops and abuse like that, but if taken care of, not much to go wrong for years.
I am in an even smaller minority. I like the Squeeze and Kanger bottles.
Not having either one, I cannot comment intelligently.

Your observation about drops is right. I sent one of my original Ram boxes to another member last year. That box hit a bare floor one time and broke into two big pieces. It was a goner.
who was it ? did you see pics ?

Yeah it's full resin. Especially if it hit a corner or something, not too drop resistant. That would go for any full resin box though.
ok, i would think him trustworthy.

Yes, I did. Nothing to trust from my POV, though, no longer my mod!

Ok, so you twisted my arm.
I finally broke down and ordered a blue and a green from VapeNW. So if those get shipped I will have all five readily available colors/materials, like you; I will have a herd.
Pity I can't get three more Radius V2 RDAs to go on 'em. I love that combination. Didn't you get a Radius? Very nearly as good, though, I can use 5a's Basics, or not quite as good, a Pocket, or nowhere nearly as good, a GR1. Small single-coil RDAs, I've got.
Perhaps I too will take a family portrait of my herd one of these days! I doubt seriously though that it will be as artistic as yours.
Maybe this will be the plan:
Blue with blue Entheon
Green with SS 5a's Basic
Purple with VA Radius V2 SS
Stab Black with VA Radius V2 black
Black with black 5a's Basic

I do not have a Radius. Actually, I don't have any of the RDAs on your list. Not on purpose, it just worked out that way. My list from left to right in my pic is an authentic brass OG Goon 22, a 24mm blue Coilart D-pro, a stainless VandyVape Iconic, authentic Goon LP with the ultem cap and an OG Dead Rabbit
We definitely need to see your herd shot

I'm confusing you and maybe @marter ? Whoever it was, we talked a couple of times about the Radius clone, and he ordered a Marstech from one of the lesser known Chinese sites - Cigabuy or Hotecig, something like that.
I used to have a D-Pro RDA, PIF'd the kit some time ago. I wish I could find a D-Pro Mini. Someone else was looking for one as well, Pastorfuzz maybe? Other than that, I haven't had any of the RDAs on your list either. Just goes to show, there's a whole lot (too much?) to choose from!
Have thought recently about getting an Iconic. I noticed that the airflow is similar to this latest RDA I got, from Tall Pines, which is a Pericles. I love this darn thing, first dual-coil RDA I've had that I'm really nuts about. I have a Goon clone, and it's fine, but I'm not nearly as gaga over it as I am the Pericles. How do you like your Iconic? That is the one that has airflow tubes, similar to a Kennedy?
@nadalama yes that was me that got the Radius V2 clone and it was Hotecig. They have been sold out ever since I got mine and tried to reorder.
Especially as cheap as they can go for now, a dern fine RDA. Another good one from that era that can be found on the cheap sometimes is the Aqueitas
Don't know a thing about them, but just found THIS PLACE listing the Athena kit for 10.

I have two Athena kits. The RDA isn't for me, cap design aggravates me no end, but the mod is exceptional. Totally mechanical, no wires or chips, solid and super easy to use. Just works. Mod is made of aluminum, so it's light and durable.
Elder Dragon RDAs work great on the Athena.
I've also ordered from that place once. They have started charging some kind of processing fee, which I think is bullshit, but otherwise they were fine. I think the fee is three bucks or something, maybe an adult signature thing?
Found this on ECR
Roadside Vapes has “Wismec Luxotic BF Squonk Mod!” Only $5.95 - Reg price 34.95 Limit one per order.. Code:LBF

Note for those who have tried the Luxotic code it seems to work for some but not others??
Apologies if you have trouble I had not tried the code.

i was thinking the same thing. did not try it.
they have a lot of nice shit there, but nothing i want.
just tried it on a mag grip = nope
Just on the Luxotic I think and someone posted that you have to put something else in your cart for it to work. And that you can then delete the other item. Not tried myself as not interested in the Luxotic.
yeah, i tried a few others. i'm done, not interested
Only one set in stock, not the ones I am looking for. Thanks for looking out though

Hey @Jinx'd and anyone else interested in the Pico S
https://cheapvaping.deals/eleaf-istick-pico-s
$19.99 from VapeSourcing's HK warehouse with code listed on the CVD page.
I haven't had any luck ordering from China recently, but some companies are apparently working, so who knows?

Did you shut it up in the fumigation building?
naah just licked it all over then opened it.
fumigation room is shut down until next Mexican meal.
Oh good, I got an Aequitas from Bx10r. Yay!
, you prolly gave that virus a virus
I think they are shipping stuff if they have it in the warehouse, but not sure they are making more stuff yet.
I hear that staff and shipping are back but not so sure about the production line workers. Probably a lot of new hands that need training. always is after CNY, and the virus probably increased the new workers.
Yes, it really is.
I have a mod on layaway I have to pay off or I'd definitely grab another one. I love that mod, and it takes arctic fox
Thanks for the info @Jinx'd , but i have the 240's, not the Daggers.
I've been trying to get the "Zombie" style doors for these, but i'd have to sell the left nut. Kind of still using that for now!
at the time, i couldn't remember if it was you or dub, it was dub.
Just came to say I set up one of the Yacht Vape Mesh Lock RDAs I got from MFS (for $10). This thing is legit! If you like mesh rebuildables, dont let this one pass by.
I'm using one of the .13 strips at 68W and the flavor is outstanding. The mesh coils are dirt cheap also. I've paid $10 for ten Nexmesh coils before. These are $2.99 for ten. Plus the coils are bigger! I haven't tried the V2 Profile so I cant compare to those. But the Mesh Lock strips are visibly larger than the original Profile ones.
The spring loaded ceramic blocks on the Profiles are cool but you don't really need it. I mean the cotton usually pushes them down all the way anyways. My Themis mesh RTA doesn't have a ceramic block and that one doesn't give me any trouble either.
Anybody else try one yet? One bad thing that may deter you from getting it is, Mike Vapes said the clamps dont like wire coils. Something about not making a solid connection. I dunno... I never tried to use wire coils in my Profile so I wasn't planning to with this one either.

I have a regular Themis. The Mesh Themis came out at the same time. Nobody was into mesh then though. I saw some people putting a big single in theirs back then..
You really should
OR one of those Wismec notch coils. I'm not a huge mesh guy so I'm probably not the most objective on this, but I much prefer a single in the profile.
I've never believed the ceramic blocks really did anything either. Not because of the spring loaded aspect anyway. Maybe the fact that they provide a channel shaped bed for the cotton to lay in. Maybe.
When I got the mesh deck I had no idea how to use it. I tried but failed miserably. It wasn't until I learned how to use mesh on the Profile that I was able to go back and get the Themis rockin.
I ended up with 2 V1 Profiles. I'll have to try a single in one of em sometime. I will get to trying those Ti coils you sent soon too
. My lineups have been busy and I have so much stuff on deck. I wonder if I should throw them in my new Passage. That one didn't come with any..
